A Tale of Two Teams?

OK,..we all know the MSM likes to make up stories as they go along, especially if it benefits their own agenda, but this is a little too stupid, even by the TrekMedic's standards:

First, how the Philadelphia Barrage win against New Jersey was reported in the Philadelphia Daily News:

Barrage top Pride, stop losing streak

Brian Dougherty allowed a season-low seven goals as the Barrage topped the New Jersey Pride, 12-7, last night in Piscataway, N.J., to break a two-game losing streak and move into first place in the Major League Lacrosse Eastern Conference.

Ian Dingman scored three times, including back-to-back goals at 9:32 and 11:53 of the second period to put Philadelphia ahead to stay. Roy Colsey added a pair of unassisted tallies.

Dougherty finished with 20 saves for the MLL's defending champions, who sport the league's best record (6-2).

Now, how it was reported in the Philadelphia Inquirer:

Goalkeeper leads Barrage in win
By the Inquirer Staff

PISCATAWAY, N.J. - Goalkeeper Brian Dougherty made a season-high 20 saves last night as the Barrage (6-2) won their third consecutive Major League Lacrosse game with a 12-7 victory over the New Jersey Pride (2-6).

Rookie Ian Dingman scored three goals to lead the Barrage in his league debut.

Roy Colsey added two goals and an assist.


OK,..its outdoor lacrosse. Its not a major sport in general, and with an average attendance of about 3000 per game, its not a major sport in a city full of major (Phillies, Flyers, Eagles) and minor (Phantoms, Wings, Kixx) sports teams. But, for the love of God, get your facts straight for a change!!!
